As far back as sororities go, they have always been compared to cults. Even actual sorority girls call themselves cult members. It’s funny because almost every single member of a sorority is obsessed with her organization and completely devoted to it.

A student at Syracuse back in 2015 made a video comparing sororities to cults. It’s semi-offensive and semi-hilarious. It uses old clips from psychology videos overlaid with recruitment videos.

I was laughing the whole time. Why? Because It’s perfect and I love being the punch line of any joke. Please watch it.

Anyway... All sororities are cults!!!

We develop an "us versus them" mentality towards recruitment.

We all dress alike at recruitment because we want to seem superior to those who are yet to be in a house. It has nothing to do with wanting PNMs (Potential New Members) to know who are the members and making it easier for all parties involved.

We have secret handshakes and chants.

Honestly, no club has ever done this before and I’m very proud of my “cult” for being the first to think of it.

We have the secrets to self-improvement.

Of course, we have all the secrets to self-improvement!! Why else would we join??

Cults brainwash and commit actions that go against even the most basic of morals.

So naturally, Greeks do the same thing!!

We establish "front groups."

The typical front group used in Greek life is their philanthropic focus. This is used to distract people from the organization’s real values: friendship, love, academic success.

Please, come join cult.
